Heart of the Sea
Gazing at me from an island of blue,
I view from an ocean of sand.
Her cries from weightless gulls tells of the loneliness within,
for there is no other the same.
Waves pour from her heart,
she pushes me away and pulls me back, ever discontent.
Too far away, I cannot hear her voice.
Too close, I am sinking.
She carries on her shoulders those who do not know her pain,
they laugh and smile as she carries their worries away.
Deep within her heart a storm grows,
until the fury of her emotions flow from within,
crushing content, drowning resonance.
To know her is to be lost forever,
to reach her is to never be the same without her touch.
She calls, no one else can hear.
